It even uses a Woodland Bow as one of the examples.
Is there any reason why I couldn't, after several extraordinary tengwar rolls at, say, pivotal points in an adventure, take my weapon (in this case, a Woodland Bow) to Rivendell and request the elves to inscribe the story of my bow's deeds in runic form? Perhaps in this way giving credence to the bow having now attained some sort of fabled status?

I know it takes time for a weapon to attain such a status... My character is an Elf so, I've got the time ;D

Yes, that would be an excellent way to narrate an upgrade (e.g. Keen or Fell) to your bow, provided your LM agrees that the folks in Rivendell would be disposed to helping you. So maybe not the first time you showed up there.
